Mapping Rain in Chalk

Gehry (the red brindle bulldog sits beside the orange pylon)

The bridge, a horizon elsewhere

—green strain tensor,

infinitesimal strain

tensor, lateral strain—

spans and rolls and aggregates

alchemy with nonlinear obsessions

built into a strong-willed scaffold

of flying giants and runaway sentinels

shaped by the din and strut of siege.
